A concept selection method for designing climbing robots
journal contribution
posted on 2015-11-23, 12:21 authored by Jianglong Guo, Laura JusthamLaura Justham, Michael Jackson, Robert M. ParkinThis paper presents a concept selection methodology, inspired by the Verein Deutscher
Ingenieure (VDI) model and Pugh's weighted matrix method, for designing climbing robots
conceptually based on an up-to-date literature review. The proposed method is illustrated with a case study of ongoing research, the investigation of an adaptable and energetically autonomous climbing
robot, in Loughborough University.
